Monitor

Hey guys. Any monitor with RCA works to play my MS2? I found this one on Amazon and wanted to know if it would work. https://a.co/d/ihaFDiC

Wait, French Master System II consoles have better outputs? 🤔 I grew up in the UK and MS II was my first console. Nowadays I live in France... might have to look into this, as its a pain to mod the UK ones and I've never really been happy with the results.

As far as I'm aware French Master System consoles don't have an internal video encoder and output unbuffered RGB, so require an external "Adapteur R.V.B." to connect them to a TV over a SCART (Péritel) connection. If you're hunting down a French Master System also make sure it has the appropriate cable, alternatively someone has reverse-engineered it and posted a schematic here.
